I recall many years ago Doug McCombs, I and others had driven to the upper end of Bull Frog Bay for some observing. He had just completed his 10" binoculars and was scanning the sky testing them. I was taking images and was stuck to the guiding eyepiece. He suddenly called out that he had a satellite in the field and it was really moving along. I took a break and went over to see what it looked like. There it was just coasting along in the field. It was only after a few of us looked at it that we realized that his binoculars were mounted like a Dob and that he hadn't moved the telescope since finding the satellite. What we thought was a moving satellite was actually a stationary satellite among the moving star field. We carefully marked his mount and the next night returned to the same location and there it was again. It was on this trip that I learned what a true optimist is. On our last night we could see a storm coming in from the south with lightening and thunder. We all moaned about the loss of the night. A good friend, David Levine suddenly turned around to the north. We all looked and asked him what he saw. His reply, "I'm saving my night vision from the lightening." About an hour later the sky let loose but by then we had all shut down and packed our equipment away. Jerry Foote ScopeCraft, Inc. 4175 E.
